Course details
Enjoy exploring drawing and collage with mixed media artist Alessandra Ausenda.
Within this workshop we explore the world of contemporary collage using upcycled materials, images and lettering, inspired by vibrant patterns created by artist Beatriz Milhazes. Looking at natural forms, cutting and assembling you can create exciting possibilities. What would happen if we were to stitch all these moments onto the same page?
For children aged 7-13, these Summer workshops are like no other, where children get to work in our studio overlooking the sea and use the same high art quality materials as our adult courses. They are taught by experienced artist tutors and leave feeling inspired with beautiful work.
A parent or guardian is welcome to join in the workshop with their child, at the child’s rate of £40 and make their own artwork.
What to Bring
